Russian troop success wanes in Ukraine, DeepState reports
The effectiveness of Russian troops in Ukraine is declining, reports the DeepState project, citing the latest data. According to estimates, in the past month, Russia occupied 51 square miles of Ukrainian territory, a significant decrease compared to previous months.
- Russian troops occupied 51 square miles of Ukraine in March - according to data from the DeepState project.
- This is significantly less than in November of last year when they captured 282 square miles.
- However, the intensity of fighting has increased in the Pokrovsk direction.
The infographic published by the DeepState project shows the Russian army recorded its greatest success in November of last year, capturing 282 square miles of Ukrainian territory. In December, this number decreased to 152 square miles, and in January of this year to 125 square miles. In March of this year, Russian troops occupied just 51 square miles.
Analysts from DeepState, who constantly monitor the situation on the front, emphasized that "the effectiveness of Russian troops is constantly declining."
Despite this, as noted, the Russians have not reduced the number of attacks. A communiqué on Telegram summarized: "The intensity of fighting in the Pokrovsk direction began to increase in the second half of March clearly and reached the level of late 2024, when Ukrainian defenses south of the city began to crumble."
Ukraine. No drone attacks reported
Meanwhile, according to government communications and media reports, the night from Monday to Tuesday was the first in a long time in which Russia did not use strike drones against Ukraine.
The Ukrainian Air Force reported only Russian strikes using two Kh-59/69 cruise missiles, launched by tactical aviation in the Zaporizhia region in the southeast of the country. "Both missiles were shot down by air defense," was stated in the daily communiqué.
According to the Ukrainska Pravda portal, the lack of drone attacks by Russia may be related to the interview given by former US President Donald Trump to NBC on Sunday. In it, Trump stated that he is "angry" with Vladimir Putin and Putin's questioning of Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky's legitimacy. He also threatened that if a truce is not reached due to Russia's fault, he would impose "secondary tariffs" on Russian oil.
